A lot of people are asking about trails and maps etc. Everyone rides differently and is looking for a different experience. Gaited horses are faster than a group of quarter horses; some want flat and others mountain trails; some want a 2 hour ride and others want to ride 8. It is hard with map all of this out on a sheet of paper you can take with you!
There are so many options but we can accommodate most all of them with our proximity and access to the West Fork Rail Trail and hundreds of thousands of acres of the Mon National Forest.
We also suggest you download the Ramblr app and you can go to the map section and see dozens of rides logged in from our location with a ton of information from miles ridden, elevation change, time to complete etc. As always if you have questions please reach out to us!
See you soon!

I used Rambler when I was there- please encourage your riders to download their rides so that the rest of us can track it!
You also have all trails and gaia that could help.
Speaking from experience , be SUPER AWARE of the fighter jet flyovers.
